Stack, the technology leader behind the world’s first responsive lighting solutions, has been recognized by Aging2.0 as the winner of the Global Startup Search for 2016 at the Aging2.0 OPTIMIZE conference held earlier this month in San Francisco.

Moving an older adult out of his or her home can be one of the most challenging decisions a family faces. We all want our family members to maintain their independence for as long as possible, but we also need to ensure that they get the best available care.

Stack, the technology leader behind the world’s first responsive lighting solutions, today announced two new integrations to further streamline lighting controls and sensor triggers for a more seamless user experience: Amazon Alexa and the brand new IFTTT partner platform.

The Stack Downlight, Stack’s first responsive lighting product, was named the category winner for the “Conventional, Retrofit and Replacement LED Lamps” category in the annual LIGHTFAIR International (LFI) 2016 Innovation Awards.

Today is a big day here at Stack. We are very excited to announce that we are currently rolling out our biggest software update since we launched and we want to highlight several of the improvements and features that you’ll experience.

Here at Stack, we have a simple mantra: our products need to work with minimal user intervention. We approach every design issue, every problem, with that idea in mind. We believe that truly intelligent products deliver functionality without requiring your attention, and this is where so many “smart” devices fall short.

In recent years, the Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to scientists for discoveries of:

— The accelerating expansion of the Universe through observations of distant supernovae.— Methods to enable manipulation of individual quantum systems.— A mechanism contributing to the understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles.
